Lin TC, Chang JS, Lee DJ. Cotton fabrics modified with tannic acid/1-eicosanamine grafting layer for oil/water separation. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 355:141703. [PMID: 38490609 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
The wettability of the surface of hydrophilic cotton fabrics was modified using a one-step protocol with tannic acid (TA) to provide its excess catechol groups to be grafted with 1-eicosanamine at pH 8.5 and room temperature with catalysts CuSO4/H2O2. The modification over the synthesis conditions revised the contact angles of water and diiodomethane droplets from 132.68 ± 0.49° to 143.95 ± 0.80° and from 100.08°±1.42° to 82.96 ± 1.38°, respectively. The corresponding dispersive of the so-yielded cotton surface ranged from 8.6 to 16.0 mJ/m2, and the polar components ranged from 0.08 to 2.7 mJ/m2, much lower than polytetrafluoroethylene. The modified cotton fabrics are omniphobic and can repel water and commercial oil products. The absorption tests revealed that the modified cotton fabrics absorbed 1.10 g hexane/g cotton by contacting hexane (top)-water (bottom) layers and absorbed 1.26 g hexane/g cotton by contacting water first for 30 s, then hexane for another 30 s. The modified fabrics reveal good absorption reusability as hexane absorbent is even pre-saturated with water. This conclusion is also valid for commercial unleaded gasoline #95 and diesel. A parametric study revealed that the added catalysts and prolonged reaction time would enhance the hydrophobicity of the surface. These modified cotton fabrics can absorb oil from water and oil spills. Mechanisms corresponding to this observation are discussed.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133489.

Abstract
Oil spills are sudden, complex, and long-term hazardous, and the existing adsorption materials still have the disadvantages of small selective adsorption capacity, easy secondary contamination, and difficult to repair after breakage in practical applications. Herein, melamine foam (MF) coated by ball milled biochar (BMBC) and natural beeswax (Wax@BMBC@MF) was prepared by a bio-inspired functionalization method and further added with self-healing function (SH-Wax@BMBC@MF) to cope with complex environments, and applied to oil-water separation for oil adsorption. SEM and FTIR results showed that BMBC and natural beeswax nanoparticles successfully encapsulated the smooth surface of the melamine foam skeleton. The loading of natural beeswax increased the foam's ability to absorb oil and organic solvents from 0.6108-1.134 g to 0.850-1.391 g, and the oil-absorbing capacity of the foam remained at 0. 758-1.263 g after being cut by a knife and self-healing. The oil-absorbing capacity of SH-Wax@BMBC@MF remained in the range of 0.936-1.336 g under acid/alkali environment (pH =1-13). The surface functional groups of BMBC improved the surface roughness of the material and strengthen the MF skeleton to adsorb oils and organic solvents by capillary action. The generation of the di-coordinated structure by Fe3+ and catechol group contributed the restoration of SH-Wax@BMBC@MF structure and oil absorption capacity. SH-Wax@BMBC@MF has superiority of superhydrophobic, superoleophilic, self-healing after damage, and environmental friendliness, which provides a promising solution for the treatment of oil spills at sea.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126748. [PMID: 37689292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
A protocol to produce a silsesquioxane (POSS) with a long alkyl chain coating on natural cotton (CT) fabric is applied. The surface hydroxyl groups of cotton fabric are converted with 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTES) to thiol groups. Then the POSS links to the thiol groups by thiol-ene click reactions triggered by UV irradiation to produce POSS-CT or grafted with 1-octadecanethiol (ODT) using one-pot or two-pot modification protocols to generate the ODT-POSS-CT fabrics. The POSS-CT is highly hydrophobic, could absorb 0.96 g hexane/g fabrics when competing with invaded water, and reach 1.12 hexane g/g fabrics when water was absorbed separately. The one-pot modification protocol yielded surfaces with almost constant water contact angle (144o) and perfect wetting by diiodomethane (0o), producing constant dispersive component (50.8 mJ/m2) and polar component (13.6 mJ/m2). The ODT-POSS-CT via two-pot modification leads to water contact angles >143o and diiodomethane contact angle of about 46o, with corresponding dispersive and polar components being 36.1 mJ/m2 and 9.4 mJ/m2, respectively. The complete grafting of ODT onto POSS yields a compact hydrophobic layer with reduced effective surface area for dispersive components, transferring the surface from hydrophobic to omniphobic for both water and diiodomethane.

Abstract
A hydrophobic composite sponge (HPCS) is developed for the first time using the dip coating and drying method in an effort to remove organic contaminants like toluene and various oils from water. We employed a polyurethane (PU) sponge, which is reasonably priced, easily accessible, high mechanical strength and a suitable porous substrate on which the hydrophobic composite of MIL-53(Al) along with PDMS was anchored. A crystalline metal organic framework (MOF), MIL-53(Al), with adjustable porosity, functionality, and hydrophobicity is used for oil absorption. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is utilized to increase the hydrophobicity of MIL-53(Al). The MIL-53(Al)@PDMS composite was used to the produce a sponge having high hydrophobicity and oleophilicity. In contrast to PU sponge, which has a low water contact angle (79.64°), the hydrophobic composite sponge showed a wide range of oil absorption capacity (12-50.5 g/g), a very low amount of water absorption (0.84 g/g), and water contact angle of 128.13°. This hydrophobic composite performed phenomenally by separating out various oils and solvents from water even in varying ionic strengths. Moreover, the recyclability of the formed composite was also performed resulting into 6-20 cycles for different oils and solvents. The synthesized hydrophobic composite sponge was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, surface area analysis, FESEM, XPS, TG analysis and contact angle measurement. Furthermore, the materials used in the synthesis of composite are non-toxic and do not harm the environment, resulting in no greenhouse gas emissions making our composite environmentally friendly.

Abstract
In this report, we demonstrate a novel plastic boat capable of selectively and efficiently collecting spilled oils while floating on water. The boat has macroscopic openings in its vertical and curved sidewalls. It is easily, quickly, and inexpensively fabricated using an environmentally friendly polymer via a three-dimensional printing technique. Its surface is sequentially coated with nano-ceramic coating liquid and oil, which imparts favorable hydrophobic, oleophilic, and high oil-wettability properties. Using the boat prototype, a small pump system, and an oil boom-like device, we demonstrate that spilled oils with a wide range of viscosities (2.0-1000 cSt at 25-40 °C) are rapidly collected from the surface of both pure water and seawater. Remarkably, it efficiently collects oil spills on seawater under wavy conditions, and the retrieved oil does not mix with any drop of water. Moreover, the boat can be scaled up to a large size easily and has a long-term usage. By exhibiting these characteristics, our developed boat is a prominent potential device for practical oil retrieval applications.

Abstract
Separating oil from water allows us to reuse both fluids for various applications, leading to a more economical process. Membrane separation has been evidenced as a cost-effective process for wastewater treatment. A hollow fiber membrane made of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is an excellent choice for separating oil from water because of its superior chemical resistance. Its low antifouling ability, however, reduces the effectiveness of its separation. Hence, in this study, we used tannic acid (TA) and FeIII complex to modify the surface of the PAN hollow fiber membrane. To improve membrane performance, different reaction times were investigated. The results demonstrate that even when the TA-FeIII covered the pores of the PAN membrane, the water flux remained constant. However, when an emulsion was fed to the feed solution, the flux increased from 50 to 66 LMH, indicating low oil adhesion on the surface of the modified membrane. When compared to the pristine membrane, the modified membrane had superior antifouling and reusability. As a result, the hydrophilic TA-FeIII complex on PAN surface improves overall membrane performance.

Abstract
Synthesis and modification of nanoparticles to make them suitable to functionalise a substrate for various application fields involves many steps, which are complex, time-consuming, and sometimes require special equipment. This is a major drawback to meet rapid technological requirements. In this work, a procedure has been developed to modify TiO2 nanoparticles by the sol-gel method at their synthesis stage using titanium tetraisopropoxide and modifying agents including ODS and GPTMS. The prepared nanoparticle finish can be used as it is without any further processing, thus eliminating the need for extra steps required to decorate them on some substrate. The nanoparticles were characterised by SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and zeta potential. The adhesion of the obtained nanoparticles was tested by applying them to a cellulosic substrate. The obtained substrate was subjected to mechanical action and adhesion efficiency was estimated on the basis of UV transmittance and antibacterial properties that showed excellent results. The hydrophobic properties of the obtained nanoparticles were assessed by measuring water contact angles, which reached 157.9°, indicating their superhydrophobic nature. The developed procedure is facile and will be suitable for the engineering of multiple surfaces.

Abstract
In this experimental study, a commercially available polyurethane (PU) sponge coated with amorphous carbon spheres (ACSs) is investigated for oil/water separation. The ACSs synthesized using chemical vapor deposition are embedded in the PU sponge by a simple dip-coating method. The superhydrophobic ACS-PU sponge exhibits a water contact angle (WCA) of 156.2 ± 1° and a sliding angle <5°. The prepared sponge exhibits high absorption capacity, removal of oil spills from water, and demulsification of an oil-in-water emulsion. Absorption capacities of 32-68 times the ACS-PU sponge weight were obtained for different organic solvents and oils. It was found that the prepared ACS-PU sponge can effectively absorb oils under both static and turbulent conditions. Compared with the reported studies on the loading of different carbon materials in sponges for oil/water separation, ACSs in PU have a low loading percentage of ∼7 wt % and better absorption recyclability. The method proposes a simple and cost-effective preparation technique of highly hydrophobic and oleophilic ACS-PU sponges for effective oil/water separation.

Abstract
To obtain a kind of superhydrophobic sponge with high oil and water selectivity, the MS/TiO2/PDMS sponge was prepared via a two-step hydrophobic fabrication based on the melamine sponge (MS), tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The effects of modification time, the concentrations of TBOT and PDMS on the properties of the MS/TiO2/PDMS sponge were studied, and the separation mechanism was also discussed based on the interaction between the oil and the surface of the MS/TiO2/PDMS sponge. The results suggest that under optimal conditions, the MS/TiO2/PDMS sponge show superhydrophobicity. The contact angle and adsorption capacity for oil of the MS/TiO2/PDMS sponge are 149.2° and 98.5 g·g-1, respectively, and they can be recycled for about 25 cycles after oil-water separation test. This study prepares a new composite material with high oil-water selectivity, which is a good foundation for the development and research of new oil adsorbents.

Abstract
Leakage accidents occurring during oil production and transportation are currently one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide. Developing efficient and environmentally friendly oil-water separation methods is the key to solve this problem. In this work, a facile method to fabricate a high-performance oil absorbent through the loading of ball-milled biochar (BMBC) and octadecylamine on the skeleton of melamine foam (MF) is reported. The resulting ball-milled biochar-based MF (BMBC@MF) displayed a complex three-dimensional porous structure. The BM biochar on the surface of BMBC@MF forms nano/μm-scale folds, which reduced the surface energy of BMBC@MF after grafted octadecylamine. These structures resulted in the conversion of the hydrophilic surface of MF to hydrophobic surface. These characteristics made the modified foam an excellent oil absorbent with a high oil absorption capacity (43-155 times its own weight) and extraordinary recyclability. Furthermore, the BMBC@MF could maintain high hydrophobicity and adsorption stability in a wide pH range (from 1 to 11). More importantly, BM biochar is a cheap and readily available material to make BMBC@MF possible for large-scale production. Therefore, this work provides an effective way for low-cost, environmentally friendly, and large-scale production of superhydrophobic adsorbents for oil-water separation.

Abstract
The threat of environmental pollution caused by spilled oil is rapidly increasing along with the expansion of oil exploration, the development of maritime activities and industrial growth. Oil spill incidents usually affect seriously the ecosystem and human life. Therefore, the treatment and recovery of the oil spill have been considered as an ultra-important issue to protect the environment and to minimize its negative impacts on socio-economic activities. Among methods of oil spill recovery, porous materials have emerged as potential absorbents possessing the capacity of absorbing spilled oil at a fast rate, high adsorption capacity, good selectivity, and high reusability. In this review paper, two types of polymer-based porous absorbents modified surface and structure were introduced for the treatment strategy of the oil-polluted water. In addition, the absorption mechanism and factors affecting the adsorption capacity for oils and organic solvents were thoroughly analyzed. More importantly, characteristics of polymer-based porous materials were discussed in detail based on microstructure analysis, absorption efficiency, and reusability. In general, this paper has provided an overview and a comprehensive assessment of the use of advanced polymer-based porous materials for the treatment of oil-polluted water, although the impacts of environmental factors such as wind, wave, and temperature should be further investigated in the future.

Abstract
With the help of dopamine, we constructed a hydroxyl-rich secondary reaction platform on a surface formed by interwoven nylon 56 and cotton fibres. Octadecyl mercaptan and vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) are used for the click coupling preparation of superhydrophobic reagents, which are grafted onto polydopamine aggregates and successfully used to prepare superhydrophobic nylon 56/cotton-interwoven fabric. The static contact angle was 161° and the sliding angle was 8°. Note that the prepared superhydrophobic fabric can withstand corrosive liquids, water washing, ultraviolet radiation and mechanical abrasion, it has excellent superhydrophobic stability, and self-cleaning and oil–water-separation functionalities. This simple, fast and environmentally friendly method can be applied to other substrates and shows tremendous potential for expanding the field of superhydrophobic applications.

Abstract
The robust and eco-friendly super-hydrophobic sponge with remarkable performances has been potential adsorption material for the treatment of offshore oil spills. In this work, the durable PDMS@SiO2@WS2 sponge was fabricated via a green and facile one-step dipping method. The mixed tungsten disulfide (WS2) microparticles and hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles were immobilized on the sponge by non-toxic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) glue tier, which featured the hierarchical structure and extreme water repellency with the water contact angle of 158.8 ± 1.4°. The obtained PDMS@SiO2@WS2 sponge exhibits high oil adsorption capacity with 12-112 times of its own weight, and oil/water selectivity with separation efficiency over 99.85%. Notably, when subjected to the complex marine environment including high temperature, corrosive condition, insolation, and strong wind and waves, the modified sponge can maintain sable super-hydrophobicity with water contact angle over 150°. Moreover, it possesses superior mechanical stability for sustainable reusability and oil recovery. The sponge fabricated by non-toxic modifiers along with its sable super-hydrophobicity in complex marine environment makes it a potential material for practical applications.

Abstract
High-performance low-cost superhydrophobic sponges are desired for selective recycling of leaking oils from open water. Herein, an ingenious method is proposed to fabricate an ultrathin superhydrophobic coating layer on a commercial sponge. The coating layer is composed of a shish-kebab-structured porous ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) film that is fabricated from a UHMWPE/xylene solution by shear flow-induced crystallization. A strong relationship between the shish-kebab crystallite morphology and the superwetting performance is confirmed. The UHMWPE coating layer fabricated at a 900 rpm rotation rate possesses a lamellae size of 95.1 nm and a lamellae distance of 27.4 nm, which lead to a high water contact angle of 157° and a low contact angle hysteresis of 4.5°. The UHMWPE layer prepared in 4 min of treatment is thick enough to prevent the intrusion of water even under vacuum and remain superoleophilic. The developed UHMWPE-coated sponge (UCS) exhibited a high absorption capability of 70-191 g/g toward various oils and solvents, which is comparable with the neat melamine sponge. Its excellent compressibility and durability enabled fast recovery of absorbed oil with a high recovery rate (over 85%) by mechanical squeezing. The UCS could be assembled into small devices to selectively collect oil from open water and a water/oil mixture using a pump, which manifests its promising practical applicability. Apart from these extraordinary properties, the approach developed has the lowest material cost and the shortest processing time hitherto.

Abstract
A polyurethane (PU) sponge with hydrophobic/oleophilic property was prepared based on the thiol-ene click reaction, which was a simple method with only one step. Photopolymerization was induced through UV light on the sponge surface in a homogeneous solution containing polyethylene glycol diacrylate, pentaerythritol (mercaptoacetic acid) ester, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone, and octadecyl methacrylate. The as-prepared sponge possessed excellent selective for oil from various types of oil/water mixtures. It also had a high absorption capacity for toluene, >21 times its self-weight, and it had about 20 times its self-weight for vegetable oil, even after five extrusion-adsorption cycles, presenting a good recyclability. It created a new method to prepare oil/water separation sponge.

Abstract
Oil spills and the emission of oily wastewater have triggered serious water pollution and environment problems. Effectively separating oil and water is a world-wide challenge and extensive efforts have been made to solve this issue. Interfacial super-wetting separation materials e.g., sponge, foams, and aerogels with high porosity tunable pore structures, are regarded as effective media to selectively remove oil and water. This review article reports the latest progress of polymeric three dimensional porous materials (3D-PMs) with super wettability to separate oil/water mixtures. The theories on developing super-wetting porous surfaces and the effects of wettability on oil/water separation have been discussed. The typical 3D porous structures (e.g., sponge, foam, and aerogel), commonly used polymers, and the most reported techniques involved in developing desired porous networks have been reviewed. The performances of 3D-PMs such as oil/water separation efficiency, elasticity, and mechanical stability are discussed. Additionally, the current challenges in the fabrication and long-term operation of super-wetting 3D-PMs in oil/water separation have also been introduced.

Abstract
Creating hybrid materials with multifunctionality and robust mechanical stability from natural resources is a challenging proposition in materials science. Here, we report the scalable synthesis of hybrid collagen scaffolds using collagen extracted from leather industry wastes and sago starch derived from agro-industry. The hybrid scaffolds were incorporated with TiO2 nanoparticles and cross-linked with oxidized sago starch. The biocompatibility, thermal stability and antimicrobial property of hybrid scaffold enabled its application in burn wound healing demonstrated through albino rat models. The highly porous hybrid scaffolds are shown to be super-compressible, which is typically forbidden in materials of biological origin. We demonstrate that the hybrid scaffolds concurrently display both adsorption and absorption behavior in the removal of oil and dye molecules, respectively from contaminated water. This study paves the way for the development of novel multifunctional and shape recoverable hybrid materials specifically from renewable resources.

Abstract
This article demonstrates a novel nanoscale surface modification method to enhance the selectivity of porous poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) in removing oil from water. The surface modification method is simple and low cost by using sugar as a sacrificial template for temporal adhering of carbon nanotubes (CNT) before addition of PDMS prepolymer to encapsulate the CNT on its surface once polymerized. The PDMS-CNT demonstrated a tremendous increase in absorption capacity up to 3-fold compared to previously reported absorbents composed solely of PDMS. Besides showcasing excellent absorption capacity, the PDMS-CNT also shows a faster absorption rate (25 s) as compared to that of pure PDMS (40 s). The enhanced absorption rate is due to the incorporation of CNT, which roughens the surface of the polymer at the nanoscale and lowers the surface energy of porous PDMS while at the same time increasing the absorbent hydrophobicity and oleophilicity. This property makes the absorbent unique in absorbing only oil but repelling water at the same time. The PDMS-CNT is an excellent absorbent material with outstanding recyclability and selectivity for removing oil from water.

Tran VHT, Lee BK. Novel fabrication of a robust superhydrophobic PU@ZnO@Fe 3O 4@SA sponge and its application in oil-water separations. Sci Rep 2017; 7:17520. [PMID: 29235525 PMCID: PMC5727532 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-17761-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2017] [Accepted: 11/30/2017] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
We report a novel superhydrophobic material based on commercially available polyurethane (PU) sponge with high porosity, low density and good elasticity. The fabrication of a superhydrophobic sponge capable of efficiently separating oil from water was achieved by imitating or mimicking nature's designs. The original PU sponge was coated with zinc oxide (ZnO), stearic acid (SA) and iron oxide particles (Fe3O4) via a facile and environmentally friendly method. After each treatment, the properties of the modified sponge were characterized, and the changes in wettability were examined. Water contact angle (WCA) measurements confirmed the excellent superhydrophobicity of the material withhigh static WCA of 161° andlow dynamic WCA (sliding WCA of 7° and shedding WCA of 8°). The fabricated sponge showed high efficiency in separation (over 99%) of different oils from water. Additionally, the fabricated PU@ZnO@Fe3O4@SA sponge could be magnetically guided to quickly absorb oil floating on the water surface. Moreover, the fabricated sponge showed excellent stability and reusability in terms of superhydrophobicity and oil absorption capacity. The durable, magnetic and superhydrophobic properties of the fabricated sponge render it applicable to the cleanup of marine oil spills and other oil-water separation issues, with eco-friendly recovery of the oil by simple squeezing process.
